    Summary

    "Can the twitch of a spider's legs change the course of a story?"

    Martin Blackwood encounters the supernatural before he gets a job at the Magnus Institute. Used to having only spiders as his friends, he's surprised when he forms close bonds with Sasha, Jon, and Tim. Yet there's something bigger at play. Martin is already vaguely aware of this, but it becomes clearer after the four of them transfer to the Archives. Forced to face killer worms, apocalypse cults, and threats far too close to home, Martin ends up grappling with his humanity. If it's to protect his friends, what does it matter what he becomes? The silk calls to him, after all.

    Summary

    “He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”

    Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:

    One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
    Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
    Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.

    An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.

    Summary

    Humans had many sayings. This one that Rocky read on his very own Grace-gifted-human-thinking machine stumped him.

    ‘Time flies when you are having fun.’ Because time just could not fly!

    ——————

    Rocky understood now. He hated that he got it now.
